I am surprised that such theories still live until today. White supremacy myth was the shadow culture during British and French colonialism “saving Africa from the Africans” and “India from the Indians” type of ideologies. Over the last 2 centuries, the White supremacy was mainly founded mainly on military might and control of natural resources since the great migrations out of West Europe.

Some comments on the theory:

- Where does it leave us with intelligent earlier races such as Nubians, Hebrews, Japanese and Chinese. All these are non-white founders of much earlier and greater civilisations.

- There are levels of intelligence: academic, emotional and social. You can’t compare apples and oranges. Which intelligence are you talking about?

- A basic research rule is to unify the metrics before measuring: meaning, you can’t leave a state full of African Americans with no services and infrastructure and then use the crime stats to judge the race. That’s cheer non-sense! Saudi Arabia has the lowest crime rates in the world due the toughness of the criminal laws, so that makes them the smartest?

- British and French colonialism is accountable for the largest collective killing and races being wiped out. Until early last century the only inter race relation was a master slave! Please re-read American history including civil wars.

‘Racial supremacy’ was used throughout the cycles of civilisations. It was claimed by Romans, Greeks and Even Portuguese when they had their turn in being a super power.

I not surprised but I am saddened redneck would have happily served in the SS. The inability to counter the direct evidence via DNA that "race" is a silly idea for humanity demonstrates his rather stupid ideas appeal to simpletons. Although it has been clearly shown through DNA studies that there is much variation within so called “races” as there is between random individuals. But why would the rednecks let reality get in the way of their worldview. The one they have constructed to act as a crutch to their own personnel short commings.

Redneck,
Respectfully, I disagree with your statement:

[There] “may be very real differences in temperament, intelligence and physical ability between differing racial groups”

Taking each in turn:

Temperament – I assume you are talking about the ability of a human to stand stress, maintain a quite disposition and generally be genial. If so, compare Albert Einstein, Ghandi, Confucius, and Nelson Mandela. Further, consider the peaceful protesters in any European city, Tiananmen Square, again India during Ghandi’s era. The self-sacrifice of all ‘races’ during times of war for their fellow human.

Intelligence – Let us consider that China, India and the Middle East all had advanced cultures prior to Europe coming out of the Stone Age, which included astronomy (not astrology), chemistry, physics and literature. In the modern day, we have Nobel prizes in science, literature, philosophy, etc that have been issued to people from every ‘race’.

Physical – Jesse Owens, Lance Armstrong, Tenzing Norgay. Here are three distinct ‘races’ who all achieved physical greatness.

Redneck, given people from all over the globe are capable of matching others from all over the globe – I would disagree with your position. I know you will state that these are aberrations to the norm. However, I would counter that, stating that there is no norm. Perhaps the answer lies more in our similarity than difference.

As to posters examples of criminality. Coming from the field of law, I would point out that there is no firm evidence linking criminality to race. Social and economic reasons, yes. Emotional and Psychological, yes. However, no evidence linking genes or physical makeup to crime.

MatthewS,
“Western Europeans are the most welcoming, tolerant people on the planet”

No, that is not correct. If you had been to many south East Asian towns or African, Indian or dare I say it ‘Muslim’ villages, you would find that many forego the rhetoric and paranoia of the governments in these areas and show hospitality far beyond the western European version in similar small towns. Europeans are generally cold, standoffish and demanding of any visitor – no matter the colour, creed.

Regards,

MatthewS,

There is still a significant difference between places- cradles of particular nations (England, Ireland, Japan, Israel, France, Spain for instance) and places where statehoods have been established by land-grabbing - Australia, NZ, Canada, Indonesia to a great extent.

Do not accuse me in double-standard while supposing understandably higher inter-nations tensions in that cradles while bearing in mind odds and adds of the US “melting pot” politics reflecting a matter of “one country-one folk”. Not English folk, for sure.

Thank you for your reasonable and intelligent post, Mr Reason.

So far as physical ability, black people are noted for their physical prowess and excel in some sports such as boxing, basketball and long distance running. But black people do not have the physique to be good swimmers, and so no black person even bothers to compete with Asians or whites in those events. Black people’s skin is superior to white people’s skin in terms of solar protection.

So far as intelligence, according to my book “The Bell Curve” by Richard Herrenstein, the average cognitive IQ for average American whites once set the benchmark "norm" for IQ testing at 100. Today, the most common score for the same test by whites is 103. The most common score for Asians for this test today is 106. But for American negroes it is only 85.

Finally temperament. I think that you would agree that a person’s level of intelligence would have a marked degree upon their personality. People with low intelligence may not be violent, but people from demographic groups handicapped by low intelligence can usually be relied upon to be infinitely more prone to violent, attention seeking, impulsive and anti social behaviour than intelligent people. Violent criminal behaviour is most commonly the pastime of the intellectually challenged, and incarcerated inmates, be they white ,black or Asian, are noted for their low intelligence. Those of us not blinkered by humanitarian ideology, are fully aware that negroes throughout the world are noted for their very high rates of criminal behaviour and welfare dependency. This fact appears to confirm Herrnstein’s view that the average negro is significantly less intelligent than the average white or Asian.

However, Herrnstein makes the point that there are above average negroes who’s intelligence is the equal to or better than the average white or Asian. These negroes appear to have the same pro social behaviour as their white and Asian peers and they also have the same social and financial outcomes.

My Sincere Apologies Persi, I did not intentionally mean to spike Psychopathic event from you, classic display of Pseudo Intellectualisms and abuse though. Funny. Psychopathology the word you are looking for. Sure you are not Mark Latham? So, I am a white nationalist racist, sorry, Wrong, My marital status is the same as David B, and Mathew, and has been for 14 years, Racism .No. Pro Australian, yes, under the guise only of Australian culture and Laws, (Less Liberalism) Governed by Australians, Not the UN and certainly not Islamic Law. I do appose the flood of Foreign Cultures, from both Demographics and Religious perspectives: This is exacerbated by Political Correctness or” Nihilism” its correct title. If that labels me as Racist, then, I must be. But proud to defend my Country from occupation of any and defend my children’s right for a future, as I’m sure you would.
I am a little confused Persi, Where do your views on racial and or Religious Perspectives lay? , At least I am up front. There is something hiding in that deep thought pattern, Fess up.
